Bill Cosby's sexual misconduct subject of US TV special

27 women accusing comedian Bill Cosby of sexual misconduct will speak out in a US TV special this Friday. The Cosby Accusers Speak will examine "personal recollections of assault, betrayal, and emotional distress" from model Beverly Johnson, actress Eden Tirl and 25 others. Bill Cosby has been accused of sexual assault or misconduct by more than 51 women over a 50-year period.

NBC’s Dateline will gather together 27 women who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault for one on-air interview special called “The Cosby Accusers Speak” on Friday. The show will be led by correspondent Kate Snow. She will conduct the hour-long group interview with 27 women who have claimed to be assaulted by the comedian.

The interviewees will include Beverly Johnson, Eden Tirl and Lisa-Lotte Lublin. The allegations span over five decades, and in many instances the women say they were drugged. The famous attorney Gloria Allred is representing many of the women, will also appear on the show.

It is noted Cosby has repeatedly claimed to be innocent. He has yet to be charged with any crime.
